When Americans Shall Say ‘Peace and Safety’

Millions of Americans are expecting a new golden age for America under Donald Trump, but is that what they will get?

There is always optimism when a new president is elected, but I don’t know if I have ever seen anything like the euphoria many Trump supporters are expressing right now. Look, I voted for Donald Trump, and I want him to be as successful as possible. But when he becomes our next president on January 20, that does not mean all the great problems our nation is facing will somehow magically disappear. Some people make it sound as though America will experience nothing but peace, prosperity and blessing for decades to come. If that were the case, I would love it; but unfortunately, it’s just not the truth.

We are currently on a path that leads to national suicide, and unless we change our ways, it won’t matter who is in the White House.

I keep hearing about how our new president is going to unify the nation, but that will be extremely difficult to do considering we are now more divided than ever. In fact, a brand-new Gallup survey found an all-time record high 77 percent of all Americans believe we are “greatly divided when it comes to the most important values.”

I keep hearing we are now entering a golden age of peace and prosperity, but how is that supposed to happen while we are still butchering millions of innocent children in our abortion mills?

I keep hearing the economy is about to take off like a rocket, but how is that possible when we have already been on the greatest debt binge in world history? The only way we have been able to maintain our massively inflated debt-fueled standard of living is by piling up debt at a faster pace than any generation in history. Today, we have accumulated 12 trillion dollars in consumer debt, corporate debt has doubled since the last financial crisis and the national debt is rapidly approaching 20 trillion dollars. How can Trump possibly pump up our standard of living with debt more than Obama already has?

I keep hearing we will “make America great again,” but how can we be great when our nation is producing more pornography than the rest of the world combined?

I keep hearing law and order will be restored, but meanwhile, chaos has already been erupting in cities all over the nation, and the far left is planning to turn Inauguration Day into a major riot.

I keep hearing things will go back to the way they used to be, but as I discussed in a previous article, “sexually-transmitted diseases are spreading at the fastest pace in decades, the percentage of births out of wedlock is more than 10 times higher than in 1940 and approximately two out of every three Christian men watch pornography on a regular basis.”

I keep hearing we will “drain the swamp,” and yet there are no plans even to reform the Federal Reserve system, which is at the heart of our financial problems as a nation.

I keep hearing good judges will be appointed to the Supreme Court, but how can we trust those statements when our new president just said that he is “fine with” the Supreme-Court decision that forced all 50 states to redefine the institution of marriage?

I keep hearing we will be an example for the rest of the world, but how can we be an example when almost every imaginable form of evil is exploding in popularity inside our own country?

I keep hearing how our government will be blessed, but how can a government that gives hundreds of millions of dollars a year to Planned Parenthood be “blessed”? Now that the Republicans have control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, this is their golden opportunity to defund Planned Parenthood. If it doesn’t happen now, it probably never will, and it will show what a complete failure the Republican Party has become. Remember, Planned Parenthood has been caught on camera admitting they harvest organs from the babies they kill and sell those organs to the highest bidder.

Some would argue that America is already great at lots of things. After all, the United States is No. 1 in the world in television watching as well as both legal and illegal drug use.

We lead the world in plastic surgery, deaths from eating disorders, teen pregnancy and lawyers per capita.

We have the highest STD infection rate in the industrialized world, the highest divorce rate in the industrialized world and the largest prison population on the entire planet.

We also have the most complicated tax system in the entire world, the largest trade deficit in the entire world and the largest national debt in the entire world.

So if we want to make America great again, we sure have a lot of work to do.

The complacency I see out there right now alarms me. So many people seem to think the battle is won because Donald Trump was victorious on election night. But that is not even close to reality.

If we do not fundamentally change course as a nation, we won’t survive. Tinkering with tax rates, regulations and trade agreements will not get the job done. So many people are acting as if we just have a few cuts and scratches when the truth is our country needs major heart surgery.

Donald Trump is not some sort of a messiah, and even if he is able to accomplish everything he promises, it will not be nearly enough. But for the moment, millions of Americans are proclaiming “peace and safety” now that Donald Trump has won the election.

We shall see how it all turns out. {eoa}
